Gillett Department: Public Works XXXX Report Resolution Ordinance Exhibits: Houston Lighting & Power Easement SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION The Federal Aviation Administration issued a grant to the City of La Porte for improvements at the La Porte Municipal Airport in June 1993. Included in the grant was removal of overhead powerlines at the southeast corner of the Airport, along Spencer Highway near Driftwood. Houston Lighting & Power recently completed installation of underground powerlines along Spencer Highway on airport property, and removal of overhead lines and poles. Use of airport property was necessary due to the recent widening of Spencer, leaving insufficient room in the right-of-way for the underground installation. Houston Lighting & Power has requested an easement for the new installation, as shown on the attached easement document. The easement provides for access to erect, install, operate, maintain, replace, inspect and remove electric transmission facilities. Access by HL&P personnel is through a recently installed gate on Airport Blvd., with the City controlling access. Action Required by Council: Approve, and authorize the Mayor to execute, an easement to Houston Lighting & Power at the La Porte Municipal Airport.

We are motivated by the following reasons. o A plea to take this action was made by a homeowners representative at a recent Council meeting. We believe that the Council should respond to such pleadings where the problem exists in several different areas and it has not been addressed for a lengthy period of time. o The potential for vehicular injury to a child would be reduced and the play of children near their homes where they would have greater parental supervision would be encouraged, especially where the c~zildren are small and there are no parks nearby. o It would help to control juvenile misbehavior. We would like for this to apply on:Ly to streets which are wholly residential in nature and not apply to through streets where other traffic control activities apply or where frequent police monitoring o<:curs. We are familiar with Article XIX oi: the state law covering the maximum speed of vehicles and k~elieve that a special hazard exists that requires lower :speeds as described in Paragraph (b) therein.
